TAIWAN police yesterday ruled out "terrorism" in a metro stabbing in the capital Taipei, where an attacker killed three and wounded 11.
-
A 27-year-old man, identified by police by his family name Chang, set off smoke bombs at Taipei Main Station metro last week before launching into a three hour stabbing spree.
The attacker then moved to a shopping district near Zhongshan station, authorities said.
"Based on what we have established so far in the investigation, the suspect Chang did not make or display any statements or views related to politics, religion, or any specific ideology, and we have preliminarily ruled out terrorism," a senior Taipei City Police Department official said, under the condition of anonymity.
